The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), have donated relief materials for onward distribution to the attack victims of Bokkos and Bassa local government areas of Plateau State.
Acenews online reports that the assorted items provided by the Christian apex body, CAN, includes; maize, beans, sugar, bundles of zinc as well as cartons of roofing nails.
Speaking during the official presentation of the materials at the CAN Secretariat Jos, Thursday, CAN Vice president, Rev. Dr. Stephen Baba Panya acknowledged that these recent attacks indicate the highest level of inhumanity to humans expressed by the terrorists.
"We convey our deepest condolences to each and everyone that is affected in one way or the other. We reassure you of our deepest concern and solidarity knowing that you are not alone in these challenges but God Almighty is with you and the entire body of Christ."
Commending the steps taken so far by the president and governor of Plateau to nip the challenges in the bud, Panya appeal to president Tinubu to redouble the effort towards achieving a more durable solution.
"We frown at the situation where harmless innocent children and women in the dead of the night by faceless terrorists armed with sophisticated weapons will be defined as a communal misunderstanding or crisis. Emphatically, let whole world know that communal misunderstanding or crisis is not the case on the Plateau.
"Let's call a spade a spade, what is happening is premeditated vicious acts of genocide against the Christian indigenous populace, by very heartless, wicked and evil terrorists for very nefarious purposes.
"We are saddened that lives of Nigerian citizens in parts of the country have been reduced to nothing. The criminal elements seems to be freer in achieving their demonic aim in our communities today while innocent citizens are left to lick their wounds with repeated attacks and loss of lives and properties.
"Let's the security agencies be encouraged to be more proactive and go after these criminals and ensure they are apprehended and made to pay for their crimes.
"We urged Christians all over the nation and indeed all peace loving Nigerians to stand in prayers with Plateau State and all states under siege by criminal elements under under any guise."
CAN chairman Plateau State, Rev. Father Polycarp Lubo said their heart were heavy as a result of unfortunate scenario but presence of CAN national leadership and what they presented will go a long way in showing example for others to render help to the victims.
